It is certainly incomplete. It has also been only partly checked against the usual bibliographical sources, so that some of the books are not properly identified, let alone adequately researched. In every case however, the information derived from the original source is given, and the source is identified. The list will therefore, I hope, provide a useful resource for those who wish to study the life of Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) or the reading habits of a master craftsman and artist of his period in North-East England. It should be regarded as the skeletal starting point for research projects for other people, not as a completed one of my own. I should be very grateful for corrections or additions. Of the former I expect, and of the latter I hope, there will be many. Further comment on some aspects of the Bewick family library may be found in Bewick Studies (see Gardner-Medwin, 2003 in the reference list below). INTRODUCTION The following checklist contains the books that I have found recorded as being in the personal library of Thomas Bewick or in that of his family during his lifetime. A few books are also included which were strictly the property of the successive engraving and copperplate-printing firms of Beilby and Bewick, Thomas Bewick, or Thomas Bewick and Son, but were evidently used by Bewick in connection with his engraving on wood or on copper, the former particularly in his preparation of his natural history publications, A General History of Quadrupeds and History of British Birds. Sources The sources used are listed here as A-Z, in approximately chronological order. Primarily the list derives from three manuscript schedules of Thomas’s books from the 1820s, in the handwriting of his son, Robert Elliot Bewick, now in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California (C-E below). In 1796 Thomas himself had made a similar list of the books bequeathed to him by his brother John (A, below). Further information comes from the catalogue of the sale, after her death, of the property of Isabella, Bewick’s last surviving daughter, in 1884 (M below), from the catalogues of other collections, sales and libraries, and from a few publications, including Thomas Bewick’s own Memoir, first published posthumously in 1862. Some of his book purchases were also recorded in Bewick’s business Cash Books (U below). Occasionally his name is to be found in subscribers’ lists (W) and in a few instances books once in his possession and now in theirs have been reported to me by private owners. One potential source that has not been adequately studied is Thomas Bewick’s correspondence. There is little doubt that when this becomes available in published form (Bain, in preparation) it will add to our knowledge of Bewick’s books and reading habits as it will to all aspects of his life. In 1806 Thomas Bewick’s daughter Jane made a list of her books; there are two similar but undated lists in Robert’s hand of his books and those of his sister Elizabeth (all in B below) but none for the middle sister or Thomas’s wife, both named Isabella, though they certainly owned books. The catalogue of the Bewick sale of 1884 includes a number of children’s books, some of which we may assume had been in the family’s collection during Thomas’s lifetime, while his children were young. All of these books, which seem to have belonged to the young family rather than Thomas Bewick himself, are listed here as a separate part of the checklist (Part 3). They are of interest as an example of an early 19th century children's library. A. Thomas Bewick’s list of 1795. “Schedule of Sundry Goods &c left to me by Bror. John” – a ms drawn up by Thomas Bewick c.10 December 1795 (Tyne & Wear Archives 1269/258). It was transcribed and published by Tattersfield (2001 pp 204-6). B. Three lists of children’s books c.1806. Three ms lists, two in Robert Elliot Bewick's handwriting and the third in Jane’s, headed “Elizh Bewicks Books” (16 items), “R.E Bewicks Books” (9 items), and “July 30th 1806 Jane Bewicks Books” (49 items), all now in the Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Examined on microfilm at Newcastle City Library (Bewick Coll. 545). C. Robert Bewick’s list of May 1822. “Catalogue of books belonging to Thos Bewick in drawing room May 19, 1822.” Manuscript by R.E. Bewick, now at Huntington Library, San Marino, California, examined on microfilm at Newcastle City Library (Bewick Coll. 545). D. Robert Bewick’s list of December 1822. “Catalogue of books belonging to Mr Thos Bewick, Gateshead, Decr 22 1822”; ms as above. This list, alone, is divided into the eight “classes” set out in the list of contents above. E. Robert Bewick’s list of 1826. “Books by of Thos Bewick, 1826”; ms as above. F. Jane Bewick’s list of 1865. A rough list in Jane Bewick's handwriting, on what appear to be page proofs of Bewick's Memoirs (1862), headed “Chiffonier, Sep 4. 1865”; now in the Huntington Library and on microfilm as in B-E above. (Another list of Jane’s which follows this, headed “Sent to Mr Jupp”, includes no informative items for our purpose.) The death of Elizabeth Bewick on 7 April 1865 may have led her surviving sisters to reappraise the family collection of Bewickiana. The list may be incomplete since amongst the children’s books, at the end of the penultimate page, is written “And a great variety of little books for Children”. G. Hugo, T. The Bewick Collector, and Supplement (1866 and 1868). H. Hugo catalogue, 1877. Catalogue of Revd Thomas Hugo's collection, sold by Sotheby, 8th August 1877. (The copy at Pease 213, shows prices paid). This largely duplicates the relevant information in G above. J. Jupp catalogue, 1878. Catalogue of E.B. Jupp's collection, sold by Christie, February 1878 (Pease, 216). K. Kerslake list, 1878. A list of 14 works from the Bewick library “accidentally destroyed”, published by Thomas Kerslake, a Bristol bookseller (Kerslake, 1878). The list was reproduced in Robinson's Bewick Memento (c1884, page 7) - the Memento also includes an elaborate reprint of the Bewick Sale Catalogue (M) with buyers and prices (copy in Pease Collection, item 207). L. Library of the Natural History Society of Northumbria, Hancock Museum, Newcastle upon Tyne, including books donated to the Society by Isabella Bewick in 1881. M. Bewick Sale of 1884. Catalogue of a scarce and curious collection of books and engravings, formerly belonging to Thomas Bewick, the eminent wood engraver, ... to be sold by auction, ... by Messrs. Davison and Son, within the Academy of Arts, Blackett Street, Newcastle-upon-Tyne (1884) - hereafter “Bewick Sale, 1884”. N. Robinson, R. Thomas Bewick, his Life and Times, 1887. The book contains a “Catalogue of the principal works illustrated by Thomas and John Bewick”, 45 in number, (pages 274-305) and identifies some items formerly owned by Thomas Bewick. O. Boyd catalogue, 1892. Catalogue of the “Julia Boyd” Collection sold by Davison and Son, Newcastle (Boyd, 1892). Pease 208. P. Barnes catalogue, 1894. Catalogue of J.W. Barnes' collection, sold by R. & W. Mack, May 1894 (Pease, 203). Barnes was an executor of the will of Jane Bewick. Q. Pinkney catalogue, 1895. Catalogue of the valuable library of Robert Pinkney, Esq, of 90 Piccadilly, formerly of Newcastle ..., sold by Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge, 1st and 2nd May, 1895 (Pease 220). R. Newcastle City Library Bewick Collection (including the Pease Collection). The Pease bequest, comprising the majority of the collection, was catalogued by Anderton and Gibson (1904). S. Marshall catalogue, 1909. Catalogue of the John Mitchell Marshall collection (Marshall 1909). The copy in the Newcastle City Library (Bewick Coll. 343) is marked with some prices paid but only occasionally with the buyer's name. T. University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Robinson Library, Special Collections. U. Cashbooks 1777-1828 and other Workshop records. The records of the successive firms of Beilby and Bewick, Thomas Bewick, and Thomas Bewick and Son are in the Tyne & Wear Archives, Newcastle upon Tyne (T&WA 1269) and the cash books (1269/1-10) record a number of identifiable book purchases.

    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

  • Engraving of a Rhinoceros, Originally Produced in 1515
    Bestiaries St John’s holds two of the ca. 90 surviving manuscript bestiaries in Latin. Both are displayed here. These volumes were often, although not always, highly illustrated listings of beasts, birds, and sometimes rocks, combining folklore, classical learning and Christian allegory. The text was extracted from any one of several compendia of animal lore cited by classical authors, the oldest being the anonymous Physiologus of the 2nd century AD, but both examples from St John’s belong to a group which draw on the book 12 of a major early medieval encyclopaedic work, Isidore of Seville’s Etymologiae, dating to the 630s. The production of bestiaries didn’t really get under way until the 10th century, but continued throughout the high Middle Ages. Although the lore bestiaries drew on was often popular, and sometimes widely believed, these were not primarily zoological statements, rather works of Christian spiritual allegory, in which narrative and symbolism played a major part. Thus the pelican is shown tearing at its breast in order to feed its young, in a parallel with the suffering and redemptive nature of Christ. The high status of the manuscripts, demonstrated by their lavish illuminations, also militates against the notion that lay people had easy access to them, and hence that they were manuals of scientific or practical knowledge. Instead they tended to be owned by religious houses, as both the manuscripts displayed here were, and furnished material and inspiration for sermons and religious life. The Lion 13th c. Bestiary from York Uniformly placed at the beginning of the listing, owing to its status as the “King of Beasts”, the Lion appears here in a lavish 13th century manuscript formerly owned by the Priory of Holy Trinity, York.

Christmass Message from the President This year the concertina has been celebrating its 150th anniversary. It is one of only two instruments that we have so far managed to invent, the other being the Northumbrian smallpipes, on which so many young people are beginning to be wonderfully proficient. Our instrument was patented in 1829, and had its heyday in the early years of the 20th century, when it could be described as a 'parlour instrument'. These were the times when families made their own music in their own houses and often invited the neighbours in for what was called a 'musical evening'.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT In the historiography of pharmacology and therapeutics, the 18th century is regarded as a period of transition from traditional, Galenistic materia medica to the beginnings of modern, experimental drug research. Ackerknecht (1973) characterized the pharmacotherapy of this period as a "chaotic mixture of chemiatric and Galenistic practices", yet acknowledged an "increasing tendency toward empiricism, partly even true experimentalism". This thesis explores this transitional phase for the first time in depth, examining the relations between pharmacological experimentation, theory-building, and therapeutic practice. Furthermore, ethical aspects are highlighted. The general introduction discusses the secondary literature and presents the results of a systematic study of pharmacological articles in relevant 18th-century periodicals. The identified main areas of contemporary interest, the spectrum of methods applied, and the composition of the authorship are described and interpreted.

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.
